Ken was born in London on the 14th February 1949 of Irish father and English mother, which mistakenly gave rise to him being described by Irish galleries as Irish. He became interested in art at an early age, but his creative development came from books, galleries and museums, as he was totally self-taught.

Many dealers over four decades have tried to encourage him to become their resident artist, but it was always to no avail. Kenís mercurial and nomadic nature would never let him settle. His sojourns in England were varied however he did settle for several years in France, hence the Parisian and Brittany paintings.

He is without a doubt a genuine and naturally creative painter whose painterly ability always visually excites his audience. His paintings display a tremendous understanding of subject, colour and composition and the varied subject matter of both past and present creates a stimulating diversity. His out of period paintings are always appealing as are his recent paintings of modern times which manage to create a classical or timeless appeal. Kenís earlier works were incredibly detailed; but gradually his style has become far more impressionistic.

Ken Moroney has exhibited throughout the world with exhibits hanging in the Royal Academy, London and Beaux Arts, Paris. He also painted many works for some of the leading London galleries such as David Messum Fine Art.
